Book Review for Super Stitches Knitting by Karen Hemingway

This is a wonderful collection of stitches bound to keep you busy for a long time. I love the organization of this book. It has a collection of knit/purl designs, cable designs, textures, color, lace, and edgings. If you are a beginning knitter who might not know the techniques for color or how to make a cable, then this book might be a little difficult for you. It is written for the knitters who know how to go between a knit and purl stitch and know how to do color changes, cables, etc. There is a section at the beginning with some diagrams for how to do these things, but it can be challenging to teach yourself new skills with only pictures.

This is the perfect book for people who want to experiment with different patterns for scarves or who need pattern ideas for designing cardigans, sweaters, etc. I love looking through this book and have used many of its patterns before. Most of the patterns are written out, but there is an occasional chart. The patterns don't usually go more than 20 different rows for patterns and those are the difficult ones.

I highly recommend this book to knitters. It should be in your knitting library.

Happy knitting!
